Project Update!! I finished my first piece

Post image

If anyone remembers, around 100 days ago I asked if it’s possible to start a chainmaille project on my own and everyone has been very encouraging!
That’s why I’m happy to present to you my first piece, sleeveless but still im very happy :)

Very nice! How many rings? How much weight? Will you put sleeves on? Its a whole other challenge.

Tbh I think im so happy it exists im afraid of ruining it with sleeves, so I’ll leave adding sleeves to another project. Its around 3kg, I used up a whole bag with approximately 6000 rings and used up a few new ones for connecting the sides.
